is there a way to have the first column always show when scrolling left and right?
Hi Jon
Thank you for reaching out to us.
This is not possible with our plugin built in features, but some of our customers made this possible. We didn't have the chance to fully test it, so you can try if it's working for you.
He actually created a fixed header and column using translation of x and y (no absolute or fixed position used), and here's one solution, take a look:
First of all, you gotta set the z-index for each component below:
Then you gotta add listener on scroll like this:
If your table is set to be scrollable, then you might want to add this in as well:
And here's the scrollBlock() part, it is ugly though, but it works for me. (noted: the numbers work for my theme, if it is not working correctly on yours, then try to adjust the number until it fits.)
It is kind of messy, you definitely can't copy and paste and expect it to work for you. You need to spend some time to figure it out.
I hope this helps, please do let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with.
